Music video

A video was made in 1983. It has had considerable play in recent years on talk shows interviewing Gervais and has been played on "'80s flashback" shows. The plot of the video is a girl in a wedding dress who was about to get married and has just had her husband leave her, after which she becomes angry and destroys most of the objects in the room.

In August 2012, British pop group Super 8 Cynics released a cover of the song through Manchester record label Longevity Records.[3]
